Uplay App Now Available for Wii U in North America

Interact with Ubisoft's online service right from your new Wii U

Ubisoft has confirmed that its Uplay app for the Nintendo Wii U is now live in North America, allowing users to manage their Uplay account and spend their points on various in-game rewards.

Uplay is Ubisoft's special online service that connects all of the games made by the company across all sorts of platforms. It rewards players based on their achievements with virtual points, which can then be spent on unlocking extra content for the titles they own.

Now, the app has been released on the Wii U home console in North America as a free download.

The small application allows Wii U owners to create or manage accounts, track their Uplay stats, and spend the virtual points on rewards for their Wii U games.
